Privacy Policy

AZ Champions for Kids (“AZ Champions,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, become a member, make a donation, or engage with our programs and communications.

We handle your information with the same care and respect we bring to our mission — because the families and advocates who trust us deserve nothing less. Please read this policy carefully. By using our website or services, you agree to the practices described here.

We collect information to help you navigate special education resources and connect with our systemic reform initiatives. This includes:

• Voluntary Information: When you join our movement, fill out a contact form, or share your student’s classroom experience, we collect personal details such as your name, address, and email address to provide tailored updates and policy resources.
• Device and Usage Data: We automatically collect data such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system, and browser type to understand how users interact with our site and optimize performance.
• Cookies: We use cookies to improve your browsing experience and maintain session consistency. These include:
  • _session_id: Tracks your current session for website functionality.
  • _secure_session_id: Maintains secure data transfer across our platform.
  • Note: You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though doing so may limit access to certain features

We utilize the data we collect strictly to advance student outcomes and enhance our resource platform. Specifically, we use your information to:
Deliver compliance toolkits, policy updates, and practical blog insights.
Analyze general browsing patterns and site usage metrics via analytics software to improve our platform’s design and accessibility.
Keep you informed about upcoming educational events, research briefings, or systemic reform initiatives if you have opted into our communications.

We hold your data in the strictest confidence. We do not share your information except in the following limited circumstances:
With Express Consent: If we request your personal data for marketing, partnership collaborations, or systemic reform updates, we will ask you directly for your expressed consent or provide a clear opt-in option. You may withdraw this consent at any time by emailing us.
Trusted Third-Party Service Providers: We use trusted third-party tools to optimize our website. These providers analyze non-identifiable statistics such as browsing behavior or click rates to help us serve families more effectively.
Legal Obligation: We may disclose your information only if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service to comply with legal authorities or protect the organization’s legal rights.
Organizational Changes: If Champions for Kids merges or enters into a structural partnership with another non-profit entity, personal data may be securely transferred to ensure the continued, uninterrupted operation of our resource and policy initiatives.

Your information is stored on encrypted, secure servers protected by firewalls. When you provide sensitive information via our website, that data is encrypted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology. While no method of internet communication is 100% secure, we maintain industry-leading data protection measures and periodic audits to protect against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration of your information. We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the resource delivery, research tracking, or communication requests you have initiated.

You retain full control over your personal details. Your choices include:
Withdrawing Consent: You can withdraw consent for updates, policy alerts, or non-essential communications at any time by clicking “unsubscribe” or contacting us directly.
Data Access and Deletion: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, or request that we update, correct, or permanently delete your information from our systems.

Champions for Kids is dedicated to protecting the privacy of minors. Our website is designed to be used by parents, caregivers, educators, and policy professionals. By using our site, you confirm that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction, or have given consent for a minor dependent to utilize our public resource hub under your direct supervision.

Our website contains independent resource tools, links to external organizations, and public information directories. This Privacy Policy applies exclusively to Champions for Kids. When you click a link to an external site or resource, you leave our platform and are subject to that third party’s own privacy practices. Integrated third-party services, such as our secure donation processors, also maintain independent privacy policies. We encourage you to review all external policies before sharing sensitive student data.
